Planning Commission allows build on cul‑de‑sac lot despite frontage calculation oddity
Summary
The commission approved a Land Use Permit for a Clayton parcel (390 N. 6700 E.) that had a previous subdivision approval despite not meeting current frontage‑by‑code measurements; town staff and counsel advised the lot can be deemed buildable.
The commission approved a land‑use permit on Dec. 12 for a Clayton property at 390 N. 6700 E. (Parcel #2016500003) despite a historical discrepancy in how frontage was calculated when the lot was created.
Commissioners and staff reviewed the lot’s frontage and noted that when the parcel was originally subdivided the radial frontage appeared to have been measured from the 30‑foot setback line rather than the property line, which is how frontage is calculated under the current code. Town staff consulted the town attorney and advised the commission that because the lot had previously been approved in subdivision it can be deemed buildable. Chair Endicott moved to approve the land‑use permit and the motion passed among commissioners present.
The approval allows the owner to proceed with required building permits, subject to standard setback and code compliance checks.
